That is because it is. It is stock footage provided by EA for Nintendo to use to promote the switch the real game will not be revealed until E3... real press get real stories.. most game sites cant even check Japanese translations and if it is not on Neogaf have no idea what something says

The only people who even think third party fanboys are a thing are Nintendo fanboys (not fans). It seems like something someone would say if they isolated themselves away from everything except a Nintendo console. lol.

And well, it's in handheld mode in this footage so it's going to look rougher than normal because of that as well. It doesn't look as good as the other versions of the game here and when docked it likely won't look as good either. It being judged as looking bad is not because it's on a Nintendo-branded system. It just looks worse than what people are used to.

"The only people who even think third party fanboys are a thing are Nintendo fanboys" You keep right on believing that there aren't fanboys out there that will forgive their favorite third party game makers for just about anything. The rest of us, out here in a little place we like to call Reality, know better. There are fanboys for basically everything. Stop living in denial of that by trying to blame it on Nintendo fanboys.

Looking like crap is relative. Is it based on being a handheld? Is it based on being a console? Ones perception could be based on many things, such as "superior versions" being available elsewhere, on hardware that's less expensive.

Conversely, you can say Nintendo fanboys will say it looks good because it's on a Nintendo system. Be honest, if this was the PS4/Xbox One version that looked like this you would think it looked like crap. But you don't, and that's because you know it's the Switch version.

" Be honest, if this was the PS4/Xbox One version that looked like this you would think it looked like crap." Actually, you're wrong about that. I'm someone who still frequently finds games like Ar Tonelico, Borderlands, and many other games on Sony systems from as far back as PS2 to still be good-looking games. Because I'm broad-minded, not narrow-minded, graphically speaking. I find a wide variety of games beautiful as a result, regardless of system, and I never use the graphics of a game as the reason to skip one version over another.

So if this was the PS4/X1 version, then no, I would not say it looks like crap. Because as someone who still finds beauty in PS3 and even sometimes PS2 era games, it doesn't look horrible at all.

Heck, at this very moment, I happen to be replaying Skyward Sword, and appreciating the art style just as much now as the first time. And that's not even in HD.

Not really into soccer games, but looks pretty solid for those interested in it. I am kind of interested in that DQ on the go though given that I commute. It would probably get more play that way than at home. And certainly an enticing factor for me personally.

Given that those game segments are super imposed on the video, and not actually running on the Switch? Ya, plenty of reason to worry. Nintendo was likely too embarrassed to showcase what they actually look like in motion.

It doesn't look bad, the PS4 and Xbox version will look much better, but this graphics ain't bad at all and is playable on the go! I hope it gets the gameplay intact and all its features, that is more important.

It is not the Switch version It says in Japanese at 16 seconds into the video this is not the switch version. EA have come out and said this is not the Switch version... Learn to check facts before making stupid clickbait.
